My wife and I had a wonderful time with Isa exploring the streets of Milano and getting a real taste of the city. She showed us some hidden gems, shared local insights, and made us feel comfortable right away. It was the perfect way to kick off our trip, and we’d highly recommend booking a tour with Isa if you’re visiting Milan.Our intro to Milano!

My walking tour with Salvatore was great. Covered off the modern architecture followed by the old history and then to the canals area utilizing trams and the metro to speed transit up and fit more in. Salvatore’s communication with me prior to the tour was excellent and he even met me at my hotel. Highly recommend. Milan walking tour

Salvatore was an excellent guide, knowledgeable, and with great sense of humour! He introduced us to Milan in an unexpected and original way, showing us the three faces of the city: its past, its future and its romantic side... We would highly recommend his company to anyone visiting Milan for the first time!An excellent introduction to Milan

Francesco combined a wealth of knowledge with fun “extras” like music to make the context come alive. Our tour was on a very hot day, and his attention to shade and water stops was very much appreciated. Fun and interesting tour

Salvatore was very friendly and thoughtful. I was happy to see more of Milan than I could have on my own. However, it was very expensive to take solo — I was alone in Milan. Half of the tour seemed to be riding the subways, which cost 2 euros. I had to use my credit card to pay for this, which I had to take out and put back several times, at every entrance and exit. It was very inconvenient. Would have been nice for the company to pay for this, as I spent over 250 USD on the tour. Also, could not enter the Duomo, so just saw the outside. It just seemed the concept is flawed or could improve, particularly for solo traveler. Very expensive for solo tour

We gingen 3 uur op stap met Salvatore. Hij toonde ons de highlights van Milaan op een rustige manier. Daar houden wij wel van. Ook zijn droge humor konden wij appreciëren. We hielden er ook verschillende toffe foto’s aan over. Hij kent zijn stad duidelijk heel erg goed en vertelt er graag over. Heel blij met deze tour! Zeer fijne wandeling door Milaan

Claire🇬🇧 United Kingdom

(About local Salvatore)

16 July 2025

Salvatore was a very good, knowledgeable guide. The only reason for the 9/10 is that what should have been a walking tour then suddenly involved a metro trip and taxi ride to and from the castle which, as a group tour, we weren't expecting, hadn't budgeted for, and potentially could have caused some issues with mobility given the demographic of our groups. As individuals this would have been great but it would have been good to know about these additions in advance.Very knowledgable guide

Our flight was delayed and so we had to 1 day to see Milano - this tour was a fantastic way to start seeing some of the things that make the city special. Salvatore had a relaxed and humorous style, and he introduced us to a variety of sites, sharing about the history, architecture, city planning, and sociocultural influences of each. Will definitely check out other WithLocals tours in the future. Great tour!

We loved this tour. It started with the standard highlights, with some emphasis on hidden gems then moved to modern Milan. We unexpectedly loved this part. It was so interesting. We had no idea that Milan had transformed a bad area into a successful live, work, retail area with model buildings and ecosystems that we had studied at work and school. It was amazing. Right across the street was a district that was hundreds of years old. An amazing experience. Also got valuable tips for public transportation and gelato. Salvatore is passionate about his subject. Highly recommend!Really Interesting Tour

Francesco paced the tour perfectly and provided enough information and ‘fat’ to bring life and context to this wonderful collection. I’d highly recommend Francesco for his ability to pitch the talk and connect at a personal level. He constantly invited us to pitch in, ask questions and taught us how to look at art.

Isa led a customized private Milano family tour including a 7 year old. She arrived ready with many facts about the city, but also a tailored scavenger hunt making Milano come alive. She also adjusted the tour to both our jet lag and the weather. We so appreciate our time and highly recommend Isa as a guide!Isa created a magical visit to Milano

We are a family of four and we visited Milan in June 2025. Our boys are 11 years old and we wanted to organise a tour around Milan and the Navigli area that would be interesting to them and fun. Francesco rose to the challenge. On an extremely hot day, he managed to take us around the city and give us a very interesting aspect of the sights adjusting the content to his audience. He is a very knowledgeable guide that extends beyond the history to the details and stories behind the scenes that make all the difference. Our tour ended at an amazing trattoria that he had booked for us to have lunch which we would never have found out on our own. Thank you! A refreshing adventure on a very hot day

We had an excellent 3 hours with Salvatore. We only had one day in Milan so needed an expert to show us the highlights in a short space of time. Salvatore did just that and told us amazing history and stories to bring things to life. He also takes amazing photos! We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. It was interesting factual and Salvatore had amazing knowledge along with restaurant recommendations which were spot on! An excellent way to see the main sites

We had a brief stop over in Milan and when researching had found little other than Da’vinci’s Lords Supper of interest. We decided to try a kick start tour with Salvatore and it was fantastic. The tour covered the new and old Milan, the Sforzesco castle and canals we did not know existed. Salvatore was an excellent host and introduced us to an unexpected side of Milan.A great introduction to Milan

Despite Salvatores good knowledge about the city and places we visited it was not what we expected or booked. We booked a Navigli tour to get to know the area we were staying in but Navigli only was a very small part of the tour and it felt like Salvatore wasn’t really into the area, only telling us what we could have found online. The restaurant he recommended didn’t meet the expectations at all, felt like a tourist trap. Salvatore was very eager to visit a part of town we didn’t especially liked nor wanted to visit. It would have been better if he discussed the change of plans properly before the tour started. Not what I booked for

My grandson (11) and I had a rainy day tour with Salvatore and it was a little difficult to hear with our rainhoods over our ears. Nevertheless, he provided interesting facts about Il Duomo, the Galleria, and the Castello Sforcesco. The highlight was Navigli, an area we did not know and thoroughly enjoyed. Salvatore was accommodating, accompanying us to Decathlon to buy soccer balls for my grandson and skipping part of his planned tour that would not have interested him. Interesting Tour

My husband and I had a great experience on our walking tour with Salvatore. He had three rules, if we had a question to ask, if we needed or wanted to stop for something let him know, if there was anything specific we wanted to see let him know. Salvatore had many surprise viewing points throughout the tour that he had carefully curated for funny or historical stories…or both. He took a number of “Instagram worthy pictures” for us, and took us on the oldest tram in the city and the metro. He made sure to explain where we were going, how to use the transit, how much it cost and took the time to explain how we could get back to our hotels with transit or by foot. He even suggested an awesome bar for aperitivo and an additional attraction to see if we walked home. I would highly recommend Salvatore if you are up for an entertaining and educational tour of Milano! Great tour of Milano with Salvatore!
